One of the last victims of Hahn forcing people into spots where they didn't belong due to a lack of minor league depth. Remember when they wanted to try Burger at 2B or corner OF? Sheets as well never should have spent one day in the OF. And binging Rojas on board is forcing Vargas and Sosa to play away from their best positions as well as putting them at the one position they won't be able to carry offensively...which is first base. At any rate, Elko and Vaughn now have a head to head competition for 1B back in Chicago. Ramos and Colson, meanwhile, are fighting for their careers. And Lee Thaiss Quero and Teel fighting their own catching battles as well as 1B/DH until that all sorts itself out. But having some real competition is actually a good thing to finally see. It also seems to have brought out the best in Baldwin so far...that jarring AAA wake up call.

Teoscar, Will Smith and Andy Pages (albeit a weird DP non RBI but he’s been very solid for them overall) help LA win it.

Charlotte losing 21-13. Lipcius in to pitch. Just Vaughn on the bench is bringing a shadow to Charlotte.

Getz is going to pick up Seth Brown just dfa'ed by the A's. 32 yo fits the 31-33 year old target range.

Justin Anderson will take care of that...

Last year the names on jersey backs were too small...this year way too big.

PCA up to 45 rbi's

18 steals

All looks the same in the box score.

How is that dead center John?

At least Robert deferred to Tauchman there...

Trusting the process... Shades of Eloy and AJ Pollock in the net.

Marcus how did it feel to get demoted yet still keep your job in a way? He will probably praise JR for being loyal. Too bad no D.Boston interview.

Ryan Galanie hmmm.... Also needs to ask him about fixing Quero as well...getting more power out of his swing.

Didn't ask him why Robert's progress went totally backwards about three weeks ago.

Need to have Jason Bourgeois as their commentator instead of Schiffren.

T.Gray and Lipcius are probably the only guys without White Sox mlb at-bats now.

Rangers have defeated the White Sox in eleven consecutive games. Mahle #4 in mlb era.

Brian Anderson: On Chase Meidroth, "every team in baseball is looking for a Geoff Blum" lol Also, Burger spoke to Vaughn about dealing with going down to AAA.

Meanwhile Baldwin and Teel are on a tear while Colson and Vaughn are sitting on the bench in CHLT. Same with Amaya and Colas. Somehow feels almost appropriate.

Except only four of those hitters are going to be part of the future...maybe just 3, depending on Sosa's eventual fate.

Thaiss Taylor Capra Slater on bench...too many outfielders now
